There will be cake
I made a trip up to Woodstock this weekend, to relax in the country with Sunshine and her parents. While there, they bought me a cake to celebrate the 100 Bands project. It was delicious
What I learned in 100 Days
Here goes: the last and final “What I learned…” post. But this time, for the whole 100 days.

And I grew with Motley Crue, Guns ‘n Roses, R.E.M. Metallica, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, U2, Public Enemy, N.W.A., Run DMC, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more. These [...]

Friends started showing up, and then just kept coming and coming all night long. First, it was Brent and Tim. Then John and Kara. Then Lance. Then Scott, Josh, Dave, Dan. Then Thomas…and so on and so forth. The next thing I knew, the place was packed, [...]

The 100th show: Part 1
Wow. I have no idea what to say about this party. What an amazing, amazing night.
I will start off by saying thanks to Al Risi from ARMM and Francis Garcia from Shout It Out Loud Music for throwing me such a kick ass party. Thanks to Right on Dynamite, Anamanaguchi and [...]

5/1/09: The Reverb Brothers @ White Eagle Saloon, Portland (99/100)
99 days of live music on the wall. 99 days of live music. Take one down. Pass it around. No wait, don’t take it down. Fuck that. Put it up. I have done 99 days of live music in a row. I can’t believe it. 99 days? Seriously? What the hell is wrong with me?
Oh [...]
4/30/09: Ghost & Six Organs of Admittance @ Doug Fir, Portland (98/100)
I’m in Portland. How bizarre. I certainly wasn’t planning on this last minute twist in the run up to day 100, but here I am. Yet, almost not. Check this shit out.
After a full day of traveling from NYC to Denver, then Denver to PDX, the pilot of the tiny express airplane I was on [...]
4/29/09: The Megan Wolf Project @ Fontana’s (97/100)
It’s all happening.
The final day is finally near. Which means, the final event/party/show is also near. I haven’t talked about it much yet, but here’s what’s happening. My friends Al from ARMM and Francis from Shout It Out Loud Music are sponsoring the 100th day. They booked Fontana’s as the venue, three secret bands (to you, [...]
NYC -> PDX -> NYC
How’s this for a last second twist in the end of this project? I have to fly out to Portland on Thursday for a meeting on Friday. So days 98 and 99 will be out west. Then back to NYC for the 100th on Saturday. Makes for a good, dramatic end to the journey, I [...]
4/28/09: Melody Gardot @ City Winery (96/100)
Nice. Another show directly across the street from my work, and at City Winery. The place where Ed Kowalczyk murdered his own songs just a short time ago. That was a fun night. And so was tonight.
My boy Al came through with some tix for this show, courtesy of his boy Tony, who pulled through [...]
